Addie Royal Jackson

The funeral will be Friday at 1:30 p.m. at Files Chapel Baptist Church, where she was a member, by the Rev. John W. Cade. Burial will be in Lexington City Cemetery.

Mrs. Jackson was born March 16, 1922, in Kershaw, S.C., to Luther and Amelia Tate. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of VFW Post 7500 and of Golden Link Chapter #543, Order of the Eastern Star. "Almeter," or "Meta," was a very loving and caring woman. Her favorite pastimes were keeping children, sewing for everyone, cooking daily (for her grown children) and changing the flags on her front porch. Almeter was well-known for the beautiful light display in front of her house on holidays, especially during Christmas. She was also known, as the old folks would say, as a woman with a green thumb because of all of her beautiful flowers.

Preceding her in death were her parents; a son, Luther Royal; a brother, Johnnie Tate; and two sisters, Eva Mae Jones and Amanda Lee.
